Welcome to the fiftieth issue of LLVM Weekly, a weekly newsletter (published
every Monday) covering developments in LLVM, Clang, and related projects.
LLVM Weekly is brought to you by Alex Bradbury.
Subscribe to future issues at
http://llvmweekly.org and pass it on to anyone else you think may be
interested. Please send any tips or feedback to asb@asbradbury.org,
or @llvmweekly or @asbradbury on Twitter.

I'll be at MICRO-47 this week. If you're
there do say hi, especially if you want to chat about LLVM or lowRISC/RISC-V.

Chris Bieneman started a discussion about supporting stripping out unused
instrinsics
with the aim of reducing the size of libLLVM. The proposed patches reduce
binary size by
~500k, which
he later points out is more significant in the context of their already
size-reduced build.
